Anna's POV
I walked back down the hall and knocked on Matt's door. He opened the door and I walked in. I sat down on his bed, he sat beside me and I noticed that Jeff was gone. I kissed him on the cheek before he pulled me closer to him in a hug.
"About last night."
"Anna, nothing happened. I don't see you like that anyways. So, you and Randy a couple?"
"I don't know."
"What happened?"
"I like Randy a lot, but I don't want to be just a fling. You know, you guys are leaving a little later tonight and you are not going to be back for almost a year. I don't think I can do it."
"Just take a leap, if you don't jump what's the fun of life." He said chuckling.
I sighed. I leaned over and nudged is shoulder a little. "I need to go check on Charlie." I said getting up.
"Who's Charlie?" He asked standing up and walking with me to the door.
"My cat."
"Do you need a ride?"
"No, thanks though Matt." I hugged him as I stood outside his room. "Call me sometime." I turned and went to the elevator. I pushed the button and waited for the doors to open. As I waited Randy showed up and stood next to me.
"Where are you going, Anna?" He asked brushing his hand over my shoulder.
"Home," I said shaking my head trying to get the urge to kiss him. "Charlie, remember." I said tapping him on the arm.
"I remember." He said with a chuckle. "Is Ryan coming to get you?"
"No, I'm walking home."
"No, you're not." He walked inside the elevator with me when the doors opened.
As soon as the doors shut Randy pushed me up against the wall and kissed me really hard. I slightly moaned into his kiss. I pulled on his shirt trying to get more into the kiss. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. My back was on the wall of the elevator. The elevator dinged and Randy dropped me to my feet. We walked out of the small moving room and out the door. I walked a little behind him to his car. Once in the passenger seat and Randy in the drivers we headed to my house. I told him how to get there. Once home I got out and went inside. As soon as I opened the door Charlie jumped up on my shoulder.
"Lively cat."
"He's been there through everything." I said rubbing his head.
I walked into the kitchen and put his food in a bowl and gave him some more water. Charlie jumped down and began eating. I walked out the kitchen and to my room. Randy followed me and stood behind me when we got to my room. I walked to the dresser and pulled out some blue jeans and a shirt. I stopped looking through my drawers when he moved my hair and kissed my shoulder.
"Randy," I sighed.
"Baby," He whispered.
"We need to talk about this." I whispered.
"I know," He moved away from me and sat on my bed. I walked over to him and sat down on his lap. I looked him in the eyes and kissed him on the lips ever so gently. "I don't want this to be a one time thing, Anna. I like you a lot and I don't want to just leave you."
"Randy this is way too fast." I said honestly, "but I've been told that life goes on and I need to jump at opportunities when they present themselves."
"We can make this work. It's going to be hella hard." He said rubbing circles on my hips. "I'm willing to work on this if you are."
"We can try." I said.
"Good," he kissed me again.
"Randy, what time are you leaving." I asked pulling away.
"Don't you mean we?" He said smirking.
"What?"
"I want you to come with me."
"I can't I have to work."
"Where do you work?"
"At the newspaper. I am an editor."
"At only 18?"
"I started when I was 15. I have worked my ass off to be where I am today."
"You are a very smart one."
"I did skip two grades in school."
"My baby is smart." He smirked.
"I graduated when I was only 15. After that I got a job at the newspaper and started college. I finished college just last year. That is why I am an editor now. I am working on my PhD as we speak."
"Damn, baby. Do you need any help?"
"I've been doing this for 4 years by myself. I can do it now."
"Baby, I am here for you. Call your boss and tell em that you are going on a two week vacation."
"I can't do that!"
"Have you had a vacation?"
"No, but what am I going to do with Charlie?"
"Bring 'em. I have my own bus let him loose on it."
"I guess I could."
"Good, pack a few bags then. You aren't going to regret this at all." He said smirking,
